"Lauri Supponen, who spoke for the young generation of Finnish composers at the seminar, mentioned social bubbles that Finnish composers typically inhabit: the welfare society, the patriarchate or the special status of Finnish music. People living in a bubble develop the illusion that social conditions are equally good for everyone, and because of their comfortable status they have no interest in engaging in social commentary."-Finnish Music Quarterly 4.8.2017
